An implementation of the Postgres TCP protocol in pure PHP

PgPhp - An implementation of the postgre protocol in pure PHP

A pure PHP PostgreSQL connector that works - sometimes you just need a quick and dirty way to connect to PostgreSQL, but for any reasons you do not have access to the native driver, and you do not care about performance., _(*1)

Currently only works in Linux / UNIX-like environment as it depends on "/usr/bin/hexdump", _(*2)

Usage

See examples.php, _(*3)

Installation

composer require derekchan/pg-php

From the original author (@BraveSirRobin)

Development status

Development status : Toy. Works for me, and it supports the protocol COPY command too, which is nice., _(*4)

Motivation

I wrote this library as a proof of concept and to learn a bit more about different TCP protocols. The main (only?) reason for wanting to do this is to be able to write an "Event Machine" / "Twisted" type of server where you can do asynchronous I.O. to several different kinds of application endpoint, e.g. RabbitMQ, Postgres, MySql, HTTP, etc. etc., _(*5)

Future

Currently, and for the forseeable future I'll be devoting my "open source" time to my Amqphp project, but eventually I'd like to expand this to be a fast, fully asyncronous, PHP-implemented "business process server"., _(*6)
